IMPROVEMENT iN SLEIGlfI-S.

The Schednle referred 4to in thesel Letters Patent and making p axt of the lame. y

T o all 'whom 'it may conce-rn:

Be it known that I, ALVARADO J ONES, of' Ran'- dolph, in the county of 1,)odgeI and in the State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Im-V provements in Sleighs; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereonY making a part Of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the beam and knees of a sleigh, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.

In order to enable others skilled inthe art to which my invention appertains to make andY use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-'-l Figure 1 is an end view, and

Figure 2 is a plan View.

A represents a piece .of timber bent, as shown, at

4one end.

Two of these piecesL'A and B,'are used to form the' knees and beam for one bench. They are halved to- -gether in the center, as shown in g. 2, leaving the beam no wider in the/centerthan anywhere else.

By this method oi'- making the beams and, knees of two pieces of timber, Il can make the sleigh of any widthdesired with the same stnli".

vMetallic braces may be used to strengthen `the knees. On the ends of the timbers A B are tenons, togo into the runners and fenders of the sleigh.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new,.aud desire to. secure Let-- ters Patent, is-

" The method hereindescribed of forlnii'ig .the beam and knees for one ,b e'neh of a sleigh, of t'wo pieces ot' timber halved together in the center,snbstantially'as set forth.

'In !testimony that' I claim the foregoing 'I have hereunto set my handthis 7 th day of November,"-
